The 18th International Exhibition of Mining Industries, Mineral Industries, Mining Machinery and Equipment, Road Construction

| IranConmin 2024 |

Iran is one of the most important countries in the world in terms of huge mineral resources, and with 68 types of minerals and about 100 billion tons of proven and potential reserves in 2014, it was recognized as one of the richest countries in this field. With 1% of the world's population, Iran has 7% of the world's mineral resources. The most important underground and mineral reserves of Iran (apart from oil and gas) are: iron, copper, gold, silver, zinc, lead, chromite, manganese, titanium, uranium, coal, tin, precious and semi-precious stones. Such as turquoise, gypsum, salt, cement, chemicals. According to the above sources, any investment, both domestic and foreign, in the field of extraction and purification, will be one of the most important constructive measures in order to increase economic capacities to achieve sustainable development.

Inviting and encouraging investors to enter the mining field is a very effective factor in order to realize entrepreneurship and job creation, and it is definitely one of the most important goals and practical plans of the Ministry of SMT (Industry, Mining and Trade). This action will also cause mobility and entrepreneurship in many side businesses such as machinery, tools and equipment, purification and trade (especially export).

Iran is located in a region where neighboring countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf countries need mineral resources due to their economic growth and development. This is while the mentioned countries are very poor in terms of mineral reserves, even though they have sometimes invested in industries such as steel, but their raw materials are imported. This gives us an exceptional opportunity to develop exploitation and extraction.

Considering its mineral potential, our country was the first country to start teaching mining and geology among the countries of the region 70 years ago, and currently there are more than 50 thousand engineers and technicians in the fields of mining, metallurgy and earth which are trained and taught the science. The presence of dozens of powerful and active trade unions and industrial organizations in the field of mining is also very significant and important. Some of the aforementioned organizations, such as Iran Mining House, play a wide and effective role in the country's economy.

Certainly, the upcoming exhibition, which is the most important annual event of the country in the field of mining, will play a significant role in the realization of the country's economic goals. It is hoped that the audience and those interested will take advantage of the available opportunity.
